Why are there all these stupid commercials about what a nice guy Mittens is?

I don't really give a hoot how many eulogies he's given at 14 year old boys funerals or if he moved heaven and earth to find your lost daughter. Or any other bullshit you've been paid a fortune to make up during the last few weeks to try to persuade me how deeply he cares about me.

He's a rich arrogant narcissist who doesn't give a damn about anyone except the fat cats and his offshore bank accounts and who thinks he can buy the presidency.

I'd have to be an idiot to be persuaded that he was going to give anything to the middle class except a migraine.




Edit: If all he wants is to be homecoming king, I'll consider it.

In other words distract, distract, distract. They are getting desperate.

stop watching. When huluplus starts a mittnocchio ad, I close it out. A few minutes later when I reopen no more mittnocchio ads - just regular or PBO ads. If u have cable but no TiVo - change the channel - ads generally last 30 to 47 secs. If u have cable with TiVo, pause for 90secs and fast forward. never ever watch mittnocchio or gopkkk superpac ads.

and even that's not very good. No reasonable plan, idiot on foreign policy, and an ass who has publicly exhibited disdain for a large portion of the country.
The best they can do now is a handful of peace loving bishop stories

I think they serve the same purpose. Subliminal persuasion. If you keep hearing the same upbeat positive message over and over again it eventually sinks in.
